When the clock struck midnight on January 1, 2026, she shared a link to her OnlyFans account, confirming her participation on the platform.Rockelle is no stranger to the internet and social media. She gained online recognition a decade ago when her mother, Tiffany Smith, began sharing videos of her on YouTube. As a teenager, she started creating content with several other similarly-aged influencers known as the Piper Squad.Cayla Smith’s Ex-Pastor Dad Supports Her OnlyFans Career— But Her Mom Won’tIn 2022, 11 members of the Piper Squad filed a lawsuit against Smith alleging they experienced “inappropriate, offensive and abusive treatment” that included “wildly offensive and sexually explicit comments.” Smith denied the allegations and settled out of court for nearly $2 million in October 2024.In May 2024, Rockelle told Rolling Stone her former friends were “exaggerating” about their encounters with her mom and her mom’s boyfriend Hunter Hill.“They aren’t fabricating it, but they are stretching the truth,” Rockelle stated in the interview. “I was present. I witnessed it daily… I believe that they believe what they are saying, but I was there and I saw everything.”Rockelle then elaborated on whether her mother would make sexually suggestive remarks to the young adults while filming.“I don’t really think I should discuss that yet… I think I should wait until I’m mature enough to talk about it,” she said at the time.Rockelle also told Rolling Stone that her mother sold her underwear to men online, allegations that were raised in Netflix’s documentary Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing.The documentary also featured interviews with former members of Piper’s Squad, including Sophie Fergi, Corinne Joy and Raegan Beast, who were all part of the original lawsuit.“Obviously we didn’t do anything that was alleged, but sadly, money is a significant motivator for certain personalities in this world. We made the decision to put this behind us because honestly, prolonged litigation would be even more damaging and painful to everyone involved – which includes children,” Smith said in a statement before the docuseries’ release. “Piper is a minor, and has already been through a great deal of unnecessary and harmful scrutiny. So we prioritized mental health, and made the decision to put this behind us and focus on the next phase of her career.”Rockelle also told Rolling Stone, “You know where I live. Come get me if you want to save me. If you want to ‘Save Piper,’ please stop talking. Because by harming my mother, you’re harming a part of me.”Breaking Down Celebrities and Influencers' OnlyFans SalariesShe continued: “That’s something I have to worry about is people coming and trying to take away my mother because they always envied my mom and I’s relationship. My father was never in my life so it’s always just been her. She somehow always has a way of making me feel better and making me feel like everything’s going to be okay.”If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).
